Shortly before welcoming her son, a relieved Kim told fans her unborn baby was no longer in the breech position.

She previously revealed that doctors had attempted to turn her son around but failed and she was considering having a "painful and scary" medical procedure.

"This weekend, I checked into the hospital and underwent a procedure called an ECV (External Cephalic Version, or a Version), which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head-down position,” she wrote on her website last week.

"They gave me an IV with medication to relax my uterus, and then three doctors attempted to work together to turn the baby."

Kim went on to explain: "There was a risk that my water might break or the baby's heart rate could drop - in which case, an emergency C-section would then take place. I went in with my sisters and my husband. I was prepared for it all!"

“They don’t give you any pain medication, and let me tell you: This was soooooo painful. Probably more painful than childbirth.

"BUT it worked!!! My baby is in the right position and it feels so good to not have the stress of thinking I need a C-section."
